Album of Salmon La Sac Field Trip

Selected photos (by Rod
Crawford & Laurel Ramseyer) from our 17 July 2011 spider collecting trip to the Salmon La Sac area, 13 miles north of Roslyn, Kittitas County, Washington. See also Laurel's account. We got a decent sample, both of general spiders and white-pine cone fauna, at two sites here along Forest Service roads, plus an evening visit to a Ponderosa pine stand farther south at Wish-Poosh Campground (no, I did not make that name up!). The name Salmon La Sac supposedly dates from a French trapper's description of a native salmon fishing technique. We also attempted to visit Tucquala Lake 10 miles farther north, but for that see the album from a later, more successful trip there. Below, pictures from the day's first site:
